Origins of This Festival

This festival is to commemorate the appearance of Goddess Baglamukhi to bring order to the universe.

The goddess killed all evil forces by controlling Madan’s speech and actions, and showing her ability to destroy the negative effects of evil words and negative intentions from Madan, the demon who was attempting to stop good (Dharma) from a universal perspective. 

Bagalamukhi Jayanti Significance

The significance of Bagalamukhi Jayanti applies predominantly to people working in political office, legal representation, litigation, media and spiritual practices. As the goddess of Bagalamukhi, also known as the “Pitambara Devi”, is venerated primarily for her capacity to balance two different or opposing energies/the extreme left and right, and thus keep them calm together.

Her name, Bagalamukhi, is derived from “Valga” (meaning to restrain, hold in check or control) and “Mukhi” (meaning face or word), which is indicative of her capacity to immobilize or restrict the verbal expression or actions of all her rivals and enemies.

She is frequently venerated for the following reasons:

• For protection against adversaries and malevolent powers
• The triumph in matters pertaining to the law, politics, and competition
• A command of the art of communication, debate, and public speaking
• Fortitude, steadiness, and the ability to triumph against challenges that lie within

What’s the story of Bagalamukhi Jayanti?

According to ancient texts, Lord Vishnu performed severe penance to reduce the impact of a terrible cyclone that was destroying the world. As a reward for this penance, Goddess Mahatripura came to Vishnu and calmed the storm.

After this event, at the beginning of the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi of the month of Saurashtra, when it was midnight, Bagalamukhi emerged from Haridra Sarovar (meaning turmeric lake). Her Jayanti is celebrated on vaishakha shukla ashtami even though this event took place during Chaturdashi.
